So true Demetrios. Another thought provoking truth written here. Hope you had a lovely weekend. I am working on so many projects. The leaves are falling, I have to rake them. I'm finishing my deck. Always something Demetrios. I love the fact that you know French. I took three years in high school back in 1977. I want to learn more French. I speak Spanish but my mother spoke French, Spanish, and English. Very well. How many languages do you speak?

Thank you dear Michael for your visits and always positive comments. Now about languages. My mother tongue is Greek, I am a graduate of English speaking university, Canada and my postgraduate studies were completed at a French speaking university, Canada. Apart from Greek, English and French, I speak also German and have studied Danish, Italian and Chinese. You should practice your French, mon ami, Michel! Ha-ha!

Yes Sir I wholeheartedly agree but our ultimate goal is to break free from the bonds of life and death and gain eternal release. lovely write Sir.

Yes, my friend, but first comes the desire to be incarnated and when this happens we have no other choice but to try to break from the bonds of this circle of birth, death and rebirth till all the karmic blame is eradicated! Thank you for your visit and comment!

Indeed, sire... and isn't death a door for those who believe to finally experience eternal life... hugs!

We come from the eternal life and after incarnating we want to return to it but it is not that easy any longer as we have attached ourselves to the wheel of eternal recurrence. Thank you my dear, Kim , for visiting and for your lovely comment!
